Free Iran Rally – Paris 8 February 2019

Written by Staff Writer on 23 January 2019.

The French Committee in Support of Human Rights in Iran (CSDHI) is calling for a major demonstration on Friday, February 8, 2019, against serious and massive human rights violations in Iran and the terrorist acts of the Iranian regime on European soil against its opposition.

The Council of the European Union decided unanimously on January 8 to include a branch of the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence on its terrorist groups’ list. The decision stemmed from the regime’s role in a foiled attack on the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI /MEK)’s annual gathering on June 30, 2018 in Villepinte.

Riding the wave of revolution against the monarchist dictatorship in Iran, the mullahs betrayed the cause of this great revolution for "independence, freedom and the republic" by instead establishing a religious dictatorship.

Iran stands on the brink of the 40th anniversary of the fall of the shah’s dictatorship (which took place in February 1979). Today, the Iranian regime, like the shah’s 40-years-ago, is more bogged down than ever. Incurable crises, protests and uprisings plague the regime. The Iranian public demands fundamental freedoms in every corner of the country. The demonstrators in Paris will express their support for freedom and democracy in Iran and the democratic alternative embodied by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI).

This initiative is supported by several district mayors of Paris, numerous human rights associations and the French Committee in support of Human Rights in Iran (CSDHI)
